Angelina Jolie is unrecognisable after undergoing a dramatic hair transformation

Angelina Jolie is one of the most high-profile actresses out there - not least because of all the speculation that surrounds her personal life.

This week, however, the Maleficent star has been making headlines for an entirely different reason: by changing her signature look. And boy, she's pretty much unrecognisable.

The most recent pictures of the 43-year-old see her without her signature brown tresses - sporting a platinum blonde bouffant instead.

Given that this is the first time that we've seen Angie with platinum blonde hair since her Girl, Interrupted days, it's only natural that the world had a lot to say about her hair transformation. Some went as far as to speculate that the actress was just over her natural hair colour, and would be subscribing to the "blondes have more fun" notion from here on out.

However, those who hoped that Angie's new 'do was here to stay, may have to prepare for disappointment, as it looks like it was just for her latest film, Come Away. Certainly, the photograph in question includes the rest of her costars, as they commemorated the last day of filming.

"Our film COME AWAY is now in the can! Can’t wait to share this magical reimagining of Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan with you all," David Oyelowo, who portrayed the actress's onscreen husband in the upcoming live action film, captioned the snap.

Angelina and David play Alice's parents, and judging by that photo, it seems as if the mother-of-six's character sports a bold, blonde bouffant. I mean, there are worse looks, eh?

The people of the internet were quick to brand Angelina unrecognisable. "Is that Angelina??" one social media user wrote, while another corroborated "Who has photoshopped Jolie in this pic?"

In related news, although Angelina and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, filed for divorce 20 months ago now, their custody battle is ongoing.

When Angie originally filed for primary physical custody of their six children back in 2016, Brad kept a relatively low profile, and refrained from talking about the matter publicly.

Over the last few weeks, however, the divorce proceedings have taken a turn, as a new court order was issued last week concerning the custody of the pair's children - 16-year-old Maddox, 14-year-old Pax, 13-year-old Zahara, 12-year-old Shiloh, and nine-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox.

It reportedly decreed that Angelina must give Brad more access to their children. The actress, who has primary custody of their three daughters and three sons, was told that she must improve her estranged husband's access and relationship to their children.

Additionally, according to CNN, the court order that was issued last week also requires Angelina to inform her children that they are "safe with their father" as the "court has determined that not having a relationship with their father is harmful to them."

Drama, drama, eh?
